9.0: Live [Live]

Product Description
In a world where the mentality seems to be "work less, yet earn more," Slipknot have done everything they can to work harder and earn what they deserve, much to the chagrin of their so-called peers, yet to the delight of their fans, known affectionately as the Maggots. The latest culmination of their efforts is Slipknot 9.0: Live, a bludgeoning live double CD of the past three album's worth of material that captures all of the noise, hatred, intensity, violence, pain, blood and infection that make the maggots swarm.

"Most of the people that are going to buy this record are core fans, and normally when they listen to an album, they say: 'Oh, this part is brutal, oh, this is bad-ass.' And they rewind over parts and sing along," Crahan explains. "But I think with this record, they're going to be very silent because I think they're going to be painting a picture of us live in their head as they hear it. You're used to seeing us live, but now you're hearing it live, so you're forced to paint the movie in your head, which creates a psychosis - that is what we are doing with rock and roll music."

The 24 recordings on 9.0: Live were made directly from the soundboard in countless cities and capture the immediacy and explosiveness of the Slipknot experience, an experience that took on a new life two years ago. In July of 2003, Slipknot convened in a dilapidated mansion in the Hollywood Hills. By January of 2004, they emerged with Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses, an album that would re-establish them as the premiere hard rock band in the world. And in March of 2004, they set out to remind the world of that by doing what they do best: taking it to the people live - a full-contact concert experience. The album contains blips from the nearly two years of brutal touring the band waded through, rejoicing, suffering, destroying, but most importantly reconnecting as a unit, a family, an unstoppable force that will never be reckoned with, never be duplicated, but always envied.

Razaak is dead once again.......2007-04-12

Before I got this cd, i only kno wthe songs from their first cd so of course they sounded better at first, and i couldnt wait to hear my two favourite songs, liberate and spit it out, which i didnt think would be very good on a live cd but i turned out wrong. Generally high scores go to Before i forget, Liberate, pulse of the Maggots, Three Nil, Skin Ticket, The heretic anthem, Duality, Spit it out, Wait and bleed and surfacing but of course the others all rock as well

worrying about what other people think........2006-09-29

If you like a certain artist it doesn't really matter what other people think. Do you ask for their advice at the drive-thru as well? Follow your heart. I love the originality of Slipknot. I have been a metal fan since '77. So much garbage comes and goes. The longevity of Slipknot will prove all the critics wrong. Cheers!

awesome stuff.......2006-07-31

for all those reviewers who gave this album one two or three stars really didn't listen to the album enough. When I got this live album I never really heard slipknot before so i played it and listened, i felt the same way as the one and two star reviewers but when i listened to it a month later after i had decided it wasn't good i put it back in my cd player and really loved after a couple of minutes! The reason it sounds so-called sloppy is becuase it isn't recorded but if you listen after a while it is music to your ears. but if you listen you can hear the correct melody in the singer even though his mask muffles his voice the guitars are awesome, the turn tables have a great effect on the music, the samplings adds great touches to it, and the drums sound better live! really the only thing I have to say about this album is sit, listen, and hang on for fricken life! By the way, enjoy the drum solo on disc one.

"Are you ready to have a friggin' good time?!".......2006-06-24

I'll get right to the point: I have rarely enjoyed a live album as much as this one since Pantera's "Official Live: 101 Proof" was released in 1997. I had seen Slipknot on tour prior to hearing "9.0 Live", and I was very impressed with their live show, but I had no idea this album would be just as good as being in the stadium with the band. But it is! Live albums sometimes have trouble capturing the great energy and sound quality of the band's live show, but that sure isn't a problem here. In fact, "9.0 Live" almost indisputably sounds fuller, heavier, darker, tighter, and louder than most of Slipknot's live albums (especially compared to their latest studio offering, 2004's "Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses"). These two discs are literally jam packed with superb, ferocious excitement. This album's building energy is so present, its almost tangible.

Furthermore, if you've ever had your doubts about Slipknot being good musicians and/or songwriters, you can now (and forever) lay those doubts to rest. The guitarists, Mick Thompson and James Root, thrash away at their instruments, playing riff after blazing riff, and drummer Joey Jordinson, who might be the most talented one in the group, plays very talented, almost punk-ish drum beats which drive the songs. Plus, one might think that having all nine band members playing at the same time would drown out somebody's playing, but it almost never does. Even the second drummer, Chris Fehn, gets his moment in the spotlight (as in "The Blister Exists" and "Before I Forget").

The only foreseeable downside to "9.0 Live" is that some fans may not be able to sit through the whole thing (it is two discs and darn close to being two hours long). But, to be fair, there is a fair share of banter between frontman Corey Taylor and the crowd. Plus, drummer Joey Jordinson does get one whole track to himself (track eleven on the first disc, "Drum Solo" is an interlude of sorts.)

Every single song on here is executed and performed absolutely perfectly. Some of the songs are even arguably better than the studio version. The first disc begins with a joking, British-sounding voice telling the audience (much to their dismay) "Slipknot will not be performing this evening." Guitarist Mick, however, then launches into a grinding main riff and the first song, "The Blister Exists", has begun. This is one of many inspiring songs here which is pulsating with intensity and exhilaration (other songs like this include "(sic)", "Disasterpiece", and "Eeyore.") The catchy songs ("Before I Forget", which features both guitarists pounding out churning, headbanging riffs, and the careening "Pulse Of The Maggots") remain catchy, and maybe even have slightly better hooks than the originals. Some other places on the first disc, like during track six (when Corey bellows "It's time for everyone to jump, come on!"), I could barely control myself from staying in my seat. That song also establishes a good dynamic, because Slipknot played a neck snapper like "Liberate", but then take things down a notch for a more restrained number, "Vermillion." Later on, "Purity" (which is actually a rarity which evolved from a Slipknot demo), allows the DJ (Sid Wilson) to shine, because it begins with some good, catchy scratches. "Eyeless" shows off the whole band's stellar musicianship and willingness to work as a whole. This song is very musically complex, as it begins with some more DJ scratching and boasts a terrific give-and-take between the double bass drumming and scorching riffs.

Next, for track eleven, Joey turns out a lengthy, multi-speed, polyrhythmic, everything-but-the kitchen-sink drum solo which is pretty darn amazing.

"The Heretic Anthem"--which begins with a chilling spoken word intro (of the song's chorus) before turning to heavy, churning riffs and swift, buzzsaw drumming--and an especially vicious rendition of "People=Sh - t" are the two main highlights on the second disc. But they aren't the only standouts: "Three Nil", "Everything Ends", and "Duality" are a couple of the other blistering tracks. Plus, "The Nameless", which has a great friction between the hard hitting guitars and two acoustic breakdowns, and the punching guitars and emotional, throat-straining yells on "Skin Ticket" (which is actually pulled off, here, quite well for a song Slipknot had never played in concert before), are notable, as well. And the very last song is "the international f - ckin' anthem" (which is what Corey calls "Surfacing").

One might think that, over the course of these twenty-four tracks, the novelty might wear off. But that isn't true, either! Simply put, "9.0 Live" is a fantastic live album from an absolutely great live band (and great band in general). Definitely buy this album if you're a Slipknot fan, pop it in your changer, and (as Corey says early on) be "ready to have a f - ckin' good time"!

This cd doesnt deserve soo many bad reviews!.......2006-06-23

Some people dont like this album. I can understand that, but why talk crap about it? About what that Slipknot fan said, "this cd is too sloppy to listen to", I dont really agree all the way with you buddy but i DO agree with you in some! I have to admit that Three Nil does sound sloppy because Joey sounds like he cant keep up with his drums, and it does sound annoying. To the perosn who gave them a 1 star review, ok dude, about them turntables, to you they may have gotten worn out back in '99, but it gives the band a different type of sound. Songs like Eyeless and Surfacing would not be the same without it! Yeah thats all i have to say to you guys, hope i didnt offend you or anything.

CD REVIEW:
This album aint at all that bad! Slipknot has a heavier sound when they perform live, cory's vocals are just as good as when he is in the studio recording. Songs like (Sic), Spit It Out, Surfacing, and others give you this pumped up feeling and just make you want to head bang. Alot of live cds are boring and dull, just listen to Linkin Park live in Texas, youll know what i mean, but this cd gives you the feel that you're actuallly there! Spit It Out contains a command from Cory to get on the ground and jump up with a giant crash of pure metal. If you've seen Disasterpieces you know what im talking about. Joey gets a little sloppy in the drums in Three Nil but still ok, gets a little annoying tho. Hope this helps!
